AN ALPHABET FOR GOURMETS.

New York: The Viking Press, 1949.

1st Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. A lovely copy in the publisher's mulberry cloth covered boards, black titles to the spine, (discreet bookseller's label and 'paid' stamp to the first free endpaper), in an excellent pictorial dustwrapper with some paper loss at the cr own of the spine, light edgewear and a few short closed tears. A superbly witty and sensual excursion through the alphabet. Fisher's Proustian observance to detail and nuance has assured her place as America's premiere culinary author.
